Hello everyone,
I run a 64bit system here and install flash plugins for firefox using nspluginwrapper. I get the movies but there is no sound.
Flashplayer is: flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-release.i386.rpm nspluginwrappers are: nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-1.x86_64.rpm nspluginwrapper-i386-0.9.91.5-1.x86_64.rpm
Any help in tracking this down would be great. Thnx.

******** Just check if the user is added to the audio group, try to check this as root user..hope other multimedia apps don't have the sound problem.

Everything else works without issues. Just the flashplayer doesn't have sound. :(

Make sure the 32-bit alsa-lib is installed.

Can you playback sound using other 32 bit apps? e.g. using the 32 bit version of aplay?
What type of sound card do you have?

I have aplay but don't know if it's 32bit or not.

I have aplay but don't know if it's 32bit or not.
If you have a 64 bit distro installed, then aplay will be 64 bit - running:
file `which aplay`
should confirm this. To run the 32 bit version you will need to download the 32 bit (i386) alsa-utils RPM - but don't install it. Extract the 32 bit aplay binary by doing something like:
cd /tmp rpm2cpio alsa-utils-1.0.6-6.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv ./usr/bin/aplay
However, as you are running CentOS4, you will need to make sure the snd_ioctl32 kernel module is loaded - it isn't by default i.e.
modprobe snd_ioctl32
Then test with the 32 bit aplay:
alsaunmute 0 /tmp/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav

Same as mine ... however, I had lots of issues with 32 bit apps and sound on 64 bit CentOS4 (not necessarily this sound card) - in the end I 'upgraded' to the ALSA 1.0.15 kernel drivers, libs and utils - which works much better

Nope, but rpm -qa | grep alsa-util told me that I have the 64bit installed, which by the way does work fine.

Roger, downloaded and extracted file.

modprobe snd_ioctl32
Also completed.
Then test with the 32 bit aplay:
alsaunmute 0 /tmp/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav
No joy. it give the following output:
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe
and just sit there until I hit CTL-C

Might have to walk down this same path Thnx for all your help and time.

The 32 bit kernel support for playback on 64 bit machines for older 2.6 kernels (including the RHEL4/CentOS4 kernel) didn't work properly until ALSA 1.0.15. RHEL4/CentOS4 is based on ALSA 1.0.6
As I said above, I've already been down this route - see:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2007-September/002946.html
The 1.0.15 alsa-driver from http://mailman.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page builds against the current CentOS4 x86_64 kernels, or you could use the RPMS from http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/alsa-driver/
I have my own alsa-lib and alsa-utils 1.0.15 RPMS - but you could probably use the ATrpms versions as well.

Thnx again. I'm not a big fan of installing software that can't be installed via yum. If it becomes too big of a problem then I'mm walk this path. Thnx again fro all your help.
